Read our travel report of our walk to the sacred hills of the Karimojong tribe within Uganda’s Matheniko Wildlife Reserve. The Reserve is located on the Eastern border of the Karamoja subregion and the hills are the first place of settlement and of major dispatch of present day clans.

Marcus Westberg Virtual Tour on New York Times Live:
24th May 2023 – Kara-Tunga Foundation hosted the French Ambassador to Uganda at the Karamoja Museum in Moroto. The ambassador visited our district for the first time to gain inspiration for future culture-related collaborations.
Near Moroto we privately had a traditional Karamojong village tour with a local guide. Normally, I don’t like village tours, but this was better than expected and pure.
Art and Film changing Karamoja: Native Travel Festival and Kara-Tunga Arts & Tours are positively changing the image of Karamoja (northeast Uganda) through Art and Film.
The potential of tourism in Uganda is enormous. The ‘Pearl of Africa’ is famous for its gorilla’s and chimpanzees, but has much more to offer. The active tourist can go hiking, mountaineering and mountain biking. The cultural tourist will be amazed by the numerous local traditions, customs, arts & crafts.
